33606 Houses For Sale

Hyde Park and Davis Islands are the best-known neighborhoods in 33606: Hyde Park for its historic homes, bungalows and walkable streets near Hyde Park Village and Bayshore Boulevard, and Davis Islands for its 1920s Mediterranean Revival homes and waterfront lots just south of Downtown.

Courier City, Morrison Grove and SoHo mix condos, single-family homes and townhomes with restaurants and retail. Neighborhood and ZIP boundaries do not always match; confirm the address on each listing.

Houses for sale in 33606 span more than a century of building, and price per square foot varies widely between them:

• Historic homes. Homes and bungalows in Hyde Park, where the first house went up in 1882. Much of the area is in the Hyde Park Historic District, where exterior changes, additions and new construction go through City of Tampa historic review. Condition ranges from fully restored to original.
• 1920s Mediterranean Revival. Davis Islands’ original homes date to its 1920s development, alongside later rebuilds on waterfront and interior lots.
• Waterfront homes. Waterfront lots on Davis Islands and bay-view homes along Bayshore Boulevard. Review seawall condition, elevation and flood insurance for each property.
• New construction. Rebuilds and additions appear on individual lots throughout the ZIP. Inside the historic district they need design approval, and every home’s construction details, elevation and insurance requirements should be reviewed individually.

Among the newer additions, Hyde Park House, a 22-story tower with 70 residences at 2103 Bayshore Boulevard, opened to residents in early 2023. Smaller townhome projects continue to replace older lots in SoHo, North Hyde Park and Davis Islands, so check the live search for the latest new construction.

Review each association’s fees, reserves and insurance before you buy.

• Bayshore Boulevard: waterfront walks, jogs and bike rides along Hillsborough Bay and the Downtown skyline.
• Shopping and dining: Hyde Park Village, the open-air shopping district around Swann and Rome avenues, and the restaurants and shops of SoHo along South Howard Avenue. See the restaurants and things to do below.
• Davis Islands: Marjorie Park and its municipal yacht basin, Peter O. Knight Airport, the Davis Island Yacht Club and Tampa General Hospital.
• Getting around: Downtown Tampa sits just across the Hillsborough River, with Kennedy Boulevard and the Selmon Expressway connecting to Westshore and Tampa International Airport (TIA). Travel times depend on your address and traffic.
• Schools: consult Hillsborough County Public Schools for current school information and address-specific assignments. Confirm zoning for each home rather than relying on its ZIP code.

2. 1880s Henry B. Plant built the first bridge across the Hillsborough River at Lafayette Street, now Kennedy Boulevard, opening the area to growth. Streetcar lines followed on Swann and Rome avenues, which is why those streets are wider than most in the neighborhood.

Flood exposure can change from one street to the next, especially on Davis Islands and near Bayshore Boulevard, and parts of the ZIP sit only a few feet above sea level. Two nearby homes may carry very different insurance costs. Review the property’s FEMA flood map, elevation certificate if available, roof age, wind-mitigation report and property-specific insurance quotes before making a decision.

If the home is in the Hyde Park Historic District, plans for exterior changes, additions or raising the house generally need a certificate of appropriateness through the City of Tampa’s Architectural Review Commission. Factor that review into renovation plans and timelines.

On waterfront and near-waterfront homes, ask for the seller’s flood disclosure and insurance history early in the process. Florida Statute 689.302 currently requires disclosure of flood risks to prospective purchasers.
